“I think everyone’s surprised Kell Brook took that fight,” said Spence. “He’s moving up to 160 to fight Triple G, a very hard puncher and a knockout artist.

"Triple G has been heard to knockout heavyweights in the gym. They’re having him [Brook] move up to take that fight. It takes a lot of guts. I applaud him for it, but I think Triple G will knock him out."

"I give Kell Brook a chance. He’s fighting in the UK. Who knows if it’s a close fight and it goes the distance. He could get the nod, but if I were to bet on it, I’d have Triple G by a knockout."
